OBSERVATION S By Charles Kuchel. A gentleman from Kansas, who visited with former friends here a few days last week, says every where he stopped, especially through the northwest, he found the stay-at-homes greatly alarmed at the number of people who are coming to California. In many cities and counties along the northern route over which he travelled he says strenuous efforts are being made to check the hegira of pilgrims westward, but the tidy cannot be stemmed. Moving out. Sporadically the automatic traffic regulator seemed to work all right, but it does not from all accounts cut the mustard. Machines whizzed by north and south when given the signal to "Go." And all the cars halted on that route when signalled to stop, allowing machines to pass east and west. One of the advantageous features of the regulator permitted pedestrians to cross at the busy intersection with comparative safety. A citizen suggests that the arm signal be placed more conspicuously at the four corners, as many autoists cannot see the ones now floating to the breezes. At times two or three policemen were needed to help keep traffic on the move, but this would not do as they had other work to perform. Perhaps there are improvements that could be added to make the device more effective, says a keen-eyed taxpayer. The principle involved, to a disinterested onlooker, appears practical, but in all probability the intricate wire attachments will cause trouble unless the mechanical apparatus is absolutely perfect. In Los Angeles, where a consecutive line of signals are main-bootleg bottle are riding to an awful fall. The primrose path has many seductive byways and the guy who steps out, while causing many heartaches at home, is really fooling no body but himself. He may think that the vamp with the baby stare is falling for him, but he had better take a hitch in his belt and back track for the dame will surely get his number. The perforated meal ticket. COLLATERAL TRUST ISSUES Scores of laquiries from prospective bond purchasers have flooded the state corporation department from various sections of the state, as the result or the recent arrest of Josiah Kirby, formerly president of the Cleveland Discount company. In nearly ever instance the commissioner of corporations, Edwin M. Daugherty, has been asked to state an opinion on collateral trust bonds issues. Harry W. More, chief auditor of the corporation department, prepared the following analysis of collateral trust issues: "The turn of an indictment against Josiah Kirby, former president of the Cleveland Discount company, by the grand jury in Los Angeles county, or the failure of the Cleveland Discount company as a financial institution should not in any way be construed as a reflection on commercial finance companies or collateral trust bonds as a means in financing. Collateral trust issues as authorized by the commissioner of corporations are secured by collateral placed with a California bank or trust company as trustee. This collateral must be in real estate mortgages or trust deeds, which shall not exceed 60 per cent of the fair value of the property .or in commercial paper, as automobile contracts or other contracts of sale, on..." needed to help keep traffic on the move, but this would not do as they had other work to perform. Perhaps there are improvements that could be added to make the device more effective, says a keen-eyed taxpayer. The principle involved, to a disinterested onlooker, appears practical, but in all probability the intricate wire attachments will cause trouble unless the mechanical apparatus is absolutely perfect. In Los Angeles, where a consecutive line of signals are maintained, it is said the automatic regulator gives satisfaction and traffice moves smoothly. The congestion on certain highways and at street intersections is a problem of serious import, and no doubt a Moser is needed to lead the people out of the dilemma. Those pesky burglars should have a care and not get so bold, or they may get caught and land in the calaboose. The grass at home must be getting short, or maybe their account at the bank is overdrawn, or something, and they are desperate. Perhaps their folks are planning a summer vacation and need the money, or they may have invested all the spare change in oil stock and are hedging. The holdness with which they pull off their game is causing comment among some law-abiding citizens who might form mutual protective associations. A man from Texas suggests a little frontier frolic, which used to be a wholesome tonic down there for the eradication of pests which feasted upon the hardy plainsmen who wanted to go straight. Of course, it is necessary to catch the bird first, but if these Knights of the Jimmy become too careless they might ride to an awful fall and may be scooped up some night when they are not looking for the reception committee. It is said a rolling stone gathers no moss, but these migratory marauders seem to be upsetting the tenets of that time-worn adage. It's the cat's whiskers. Some weeks ago a man had two fifty-foot lengths of garden hose stolen from his front yard. A few evenings ago he found a brand new 50-foot piece of hose neatly placed in his shed, and he believes somebody must have become conscious stricken, or something like that. While the candle holds out to burn. It is sold a tooth pulled in the early hours on the morning, does not hurt as much as one yanked out later in the day. Sometimes merely going to a dentist's office causes a tooth to stop a reflection on commercial finance companies or collateral trust bonds as a means in financing. Collateral trust issues as authorized by the commissioner of corporations are secured by collateral placed with a California bank or trust company as trustee. This collateral must be in real estate mortgages or trust deeds, which shall not exceed 60 per cent of the fair value of the property .or in commercial paper, as automobile contracts or other contracts of sale, on which at least one-third of the purchase price has been paid din cash. For each $110 of collateral placed with the trustee, companies are allowed to issue $100 face value of bonds. These bonds are certified by the trustee to the effect that there is collateral behind each bond in accordance with the above. "Collateral trust bonds are a safe and conservative method of financing, both from the standpoint of the company and the investor." "Investors should always request a copy of the permit as issued by the commissioner of corporations. "The indictment of Josiah Kirby is based upon the fact that the Cleveland Discount company sold collateral trust bonds in violation of the terms of the permit on the partial payment plan. "All purchasers of bonds made in accordance with the state corporation permit are amply protected. Only those who failed to comply with the permit and purchased on partial payment plan were affected by the receivorship. Moral, investigate before investing." SUPERIOR CO-EDS Co-ed students are better letter writers than men at the University of California, a recent contest held under the auspices of the endowment department of the university disolosed. A girl won the first prize in a written plea to aid endowment. Likewise in the realm of art, another co-ed won a $100 prize, offered by Marco H. Hellman, general chairman of the university's $10,000,000 endowment and development campaign for the best poster to be used in the solicitation. Miss Mildred Fitch was awarded the letter writing prize and Miss Mildred Bryant the poster prize. Students of the university are taking much interest in the campaign to extend and develop the work of their alma mater.

The toll of death exacted by the carelessness of auto drivers, who insist upon beating steam and trolley cars to a railroad crossing, increases at a rapid rate these days. The two streaks of rust are in themselves a warning and people should stop, lokk, and listen when coming to them. It will only detain them a minute or two and they may thus be allowed to enjoy the pleasures of this earth for a longer period than they otherwise would if they persist in being in a hurry in dangerous places. Many people have acquired the speed bug and they pay dearly for their wanton indiscretion. Nowadays the sinister slogan is to "step on it," but it may not be amiss for the ordinary human to be a little late and come under the wire with a whole hide and his breathing apparatus in good working order. It is more congenial to meet your friends with a winning smile than have them say it with flowers. Put on the brakes.

Students of the university are taking much interest in the campaign to extend and develop the work of their alma mater. Besides a student campaign, in which a large amount was raised, the campus activities have embraced entrance into contests and class gifts. The junior class is producing "Polly with a Past," a rioting New York comedy hit, first introduced by David Belasco. One-half the proceeds of the two performances planned, will go to swell the endowment fund. The class has obtained the original producer's script from Belasco, and with professional direction, and personal coaching by Miss Ina Claire, who created the title role for Belasco, promise a play of professional merit. Large numbers of the Los Angeles theatre-goers are planning to attend the play.

All that man strives to be, Strives to attain, All that his might has won, All that his toll has done, Performance hath in one, All is but vain. Tell me not "Loveliness Soon fades away; 'Tis but an idle dress Of idle clay." Tell me not with a sigh Lillies and roses die. That the gay butterfly Lives but a day. Surely full well I know Roses will die; Swift as the wind both blow Withered they lie. Perish all earthly must, Crumble and fall to dust, Prey of the moth and rust, Even so I. But God Himself did give Men might and brain To labor while they live, Strive and attain; God made the lovely rose Which by the wayside grows To cheer man in his woes, Can they be vain? CULTURE AND ADVERTISING At several points along the coast at Laguna Beach, nature has built, in the rough, the finest of Greek theaters. The excavation and grading, and even the terracing in some instances, has all been done, in large part, by the wash of the waves, the roar of the rain and the wild winds from off the stormy sea. And what a majestic setting is bucket, this New York sugar strike, but it had a wonderful effect on New York. Sugar came down a fraction, because grocers were afraid the housewives would extend the boycott to take in many articles that contain sugar. We do not like the word boycott, and neither do we believe in encouraging one, but if boycotting the sugar barons will bring prices back to normal, and that price is a fair price, then we would advise every woman in Anaheim to join in a boycott without further loss of time. Anthing you do to a gang of men who are deliberately robbing you isn't going to be any more severe than the punishment the deserve. SATISFACTORY BANK LOAN At the Southern California Bankers' convention at Long Beach last week, Henry M. Robinson cited the following formula recommended to banks in granting a loan: "That the application be considered only if the customers' relations to the bank entitle him to such consideration." "That he has established a proper banking relation." "That his character is such as to entitle him to the loan, if other conditions are met." "That he is engaged in a worthy productive enterprise." "That the loan is protected by collateral or by a statement that assures repayment." "That maturity can be agreed upon, and that except for some untoward happening, payment will be made at maturity and lastly." "That the plan of repayment is reasonably sure of consumption." "It is to be recognized," Mr. Robinson said," that in the agricultural communities, needs must be met on a modification of these formulas, but on ALASKA SCHOOLS An increase from 67 to 75 in the number of schools maintained for Eskimos and natives of Alaska has been announced by the bureau of education of the department of the interior. The number of teachers has been increased from 13 to 144. The schools are located in 75 small villages scattered over the vast expanse of Alaska, the northernmost being on the shore of the Arctic ocean at Point Barrow, the southernmost being 80 miles from the southeastern extremity of the territory, the westernmost being on Atka Island in the Aleutian chain, almost within the eastern hemisphere. Operation of the schools is under the direction of a superintendent with headquarters in Seattle, which is more accessible to all parts of Alasak than any point within the territory. From his office are sent supplies to the teachers of the Eskimos, many of whom are out of touch with civilization for months out of the year. Alaska has been divided into five school districts by the United States bureau of education, each under the supervision and direction of a district superintendent as follows: Northwestern district, including 10 schools on the shores of the Arctic ocean; Seward peninsula district, including 11 schools on the Seward peninsula, between the Bering sea and the Arctic ocean; western district, including 17 schools in the region bordering the Bering sea; central district, including 22 schools in central Alasca and the Aleutian islands; southeastern district including 15 schools in southeastern Alaska. All of the schools are centers of small native villages where the teachers act as guides, leaders, nurses, city advisers, social leaders, community builders, and solve the economic prob- CULTURE AND ADVERTISING At several points along the coast at Laguna Beach, nature has built, in the rough, the finest of Greek theaters. The excavation and grading, and even the terracing in some instances, has all been done, in large part, by the wash of the waves, the roar of the rain and the wild winds from off the stormy sea. And what a majestic setting is there! The actors would "lift up their eyes to the mountains whence cometh their strength" and inspiration. The auditors would look out upon a moonlit sea, and far beyond the rim of the world their minds' eyes would vision the ancient prototypes of the plays that would be presented. These thoughts are suggested by a double-page cut of the Greek theatre at Berkeley, used as the principal illustration for that very interesting article, "Sarah Bernhardt, Wonder Woman," in the current Pictorial Review; and we are reminded that California affords the scenic and climatic advantages that make it the natural center of the world for pageants and open-air programs of all varieties. The announcement of the completion of the coliseum at Los Angeles, which is to seat 80,000, and the construction of Greek theatres in some of the smaller communities of the state, show how rapidly the idea of the open-air theatre is gaining favor. In addition to the opportunity afforded to enrich the cultural life of a community, such institutions have an advertising value that is far-reaching in its influence, and the boosters for the "Beach That Is Different" might well capitalize, both culturally and materially, the wonderful work that nature has done for them in this respect. HOW THEY SHOT Army statisticians see some significance in post war figures which showed that with a total mobilization of 22,850,000 soldiers for the central powers, 22,090,000 casualties were inflicted upon the allies, while with 42,319,000 allied and associated men under arms, the central powers sustained only 15,405,000 casualties. The war department chart shows that per 1000 mobilized, the central powers forces inflicted 966 casualties while the corresponding figure for the opponents was 365. In this connection it is pointed out that the German and Austrian armies were produced under warlord control. That the loan is protected by collateral or by a statement that assures repayment. That maturity can be agreed upon, and that except for some untowara happening, payment will be made at maturity and lastly. That the plan of repayment is reasonably sure of consumption." "It is to be recognized." Mr. Robinson said, that in the agricultural communities, needs must be met on modification of these formulas, but on the whole they for ma basis on which the stability and integrity of the institution, liquidity of its assets, and the standing of the customer can be based with the best results for both." In the last few years, especially in the south, the marked increase in industrial and commercial operations, superimposed on the seasonal requirements of the agricultural producer, has put an ever-increasing burden on the commercial banks and commercial departments of state banks," Mr. Robinson stated. GOMPERS VS. CONSTITUTION Mr. Gompers attacks the decision of the supreme court declaring the minimum wage law for women in the District of Columbia unconstitutional, saying that it violates certain principles contained in the Clayton anti-trust act. His argument is merely an interesting contribution to his pet theory that congress should be allowed to over-ride decisions of the supreme court. Of course the principles in the Clayton act have nothing to do with the case. Congress alone cannot amend the constitution, and did not attempt to when the Clayton act was passed. If the minimum wage law is unconstitutional now it was unconstitutional before the passage of that act. The supreme court cannot "violate" any law when it declares a piece of legislation unconstitutional. Mr. Gompers to the contrary notwithstanding. In such decisions the court is guided solely by the language of the constitution itself. BEATING THE GOVERSMENT A millionaire investor can buy himself free of federal and other taxation by investing in a bond of an Oklahoma county. He may pay something more for the bond than if it were not tax-exempt, but he will not pay a sum at all commensurate with the value of the federal exemption. Just how much longer it will take between the Bering sea and the Arctic ocean; western district, including 17 schools in the region bordering the Bering sea; central district, including 22 schools in central Alasca and the Aleutian islands; southeastern district including 15 schools in southeastern Alaska. All of the schools are centers of small native villages where teachers act as guides, leaders, nurses, clinic advisers, social leaders, community builders,and solve the economic problems of the Alaskan Eskimos and Indians,saving gthousands of them from starvation every year. Records show that the United States bureau of education during the past year maintained hospitals for the natives at Juneau in the southeastern district; at Nulato and Kanakanak in the central district; at Akiak in the western district; and at Noorvik in northwestern Alaska. Seven physicians and seventeen nurses were on constant duty working among the Eskimos and Indians. The hospital at Juneau also receives native girls for training as nurses. Household remedies and instructions for their use are sent to all teachers in the remote and scattered villages over the land. The operation of schools by the bureau of education is exclusive of those maintained in the incorporated towns of Alaska under the jurisdiction of the territorial government, where the whites are educated,the bureau confining its activities exclusively to the natives,most of whom live at far-distant points from Alaskan communities. BIG DAMAGES ASKED Claiming that the death of their son, Claude Stodard, at Huntington Beach, March 4, was directly due to the negligence and carelessness of the defendants, in that they failed to warn him of the dangerous condition of the sand banks, which later caved in on BEATING THE GOVERSMENT A millionaire investor can buy himself free of federal and other taxation by investing in a bond of an Oklahoma county. He may pay something more for the bond than if it were not tax-exempt, but he will not pay a sum at all commensurate with the value of the federal exemption. Just how much longer it will take to remove the tax-exemption folly cannot be estimated, but it is safe to say that it will not long be possible for those least able to pay taxesto continue to pay double taxes in order that those most able to pay may escape all forms of taxation by placing their funds in tax-exempt securities. Aside from all local taxes, the amount the government loses on the income tax is enormous and keeps the rates higher for the rest of us. RATHER THIN EXCUSE One of the reasons given by the allied delegates at Paris for none-payment of the American claim for costs of the army of occupation is that Great Britain would have to pay the costs of its army if German reparations were diverted to liquidate the American debt. People in this country fail to see the force of that argument. The United States has had to pay the entire cost of the American army on the Rhine, amounting to over $250,000,000, while it is understood that practically all the expense of the allied forces has been met by German reparations. If you have prosperity in the head it will often spread to the pocket-book. FROM 67 TO 75 IN THE SCHOOLS maintained for Estates of Alaska has been the bureau of education at the interior. The laws have been increased located in 75 small and over the vast extent of the Arctic ocean the southernmost beaches the southeastern territory, the western Alaska island in the Aleutian within the eastern schools is under superintendent with Seattle, which is more parts of Alasak than the territory.

Allen and James L. Davis, against the La Bolsa Tile company, and J. D. Phillips and P. C. McMeans. Young Stodard was to begin excavating sand and gravel from the pit March 5, the suit alleged. Phillips and McMeans had contracted with the tile company for gravel, to be mined from the pit, it was said. The day before he was to begin work, Stodard was standing near the pit, when, because of its neglected condition, it caved in, the complaint asserted. No warning signs or posted notices, held to be required by the state industrial commission, were displayed, the suit alleged. The sand bank had been unsafe for at least ten months before the accident, it was asserted.
